Registration systems and member schools

A system of non-government schools is a grouping of 20 or more schools, or with the Minister's approval, 11 to 19 schools, that has been approved by the Minister to monitor compliance with the requirements for registration and, if appropriate, accreditation for the schools within that system. A system of non-government schools may be referred to as a registration system.

In relation to registration and accreditation, an approved authority for a system of non-government schools is responsible for considering any documentation provided by a member school and observations from a monitoring visit to the member school in order to form opinions about the school's compliance with the requirements of the Education Act 1990 (requirements for member schools).
